Vela

We could call it the fashionable sport if it weren't for the fact that already in the 12th century some fishermen in Indonesia and China used kites to drag small boats, although it was actually patented in 1977. Any ideas ?

We are talking about Kitesurf, a risk sport that is performed on water and in which the wind takes on a special role because you will need it to be propelled by a traction kite that will be attached to your body with a harness. It is about sailing on a board, dodging and taking advantage of the waves in order to perform maneuvers in the air. You will need great stamina, many doses of coordination and strength. The adrenaline will come by itself.

To practice this sport you will need a swimsuit and a Lycra t-shirt, a special neoprene for the season in the one you find and some shoes.

There are many coasts in Catalonia where you can practice Kitesurfing, check our availability of dates and reserve your place. We remind you that to practice sea sports you must always take into account the meteorology.
